Pain at the tap as cost of water doubles for Nairobi residents

Nairobi residents should expect to pay more for water from the next month following the gazettement of new tariff charges that reflect an increase of between nine and 93 per cent.

Following the Kenya Gazette notice, the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC), which is wholly owned by the county government, has given residents a one-month notice before the tariff is effected.
